Magnetic impurities on superconductors generally give rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states which, when coupled suitably in chains of magnetic atoms, can give rise to Majorana zero modes. We study the behaviour of YSR states at isolated magnetic impurities and focus on mapping out their spatial extent. In particular, we investigate the interplay of the electronic structure of the superconductor with the extent of resulting YSR states. A better understanding and control of such states can lead to reliably produce superconducting spin qubits, important for topologically protected quantum computers.
In our work we employ the Kohn-Sham Bogoliubov-de Gennes method within the full-potential relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method [1,2] interfaced with the AiiDA infrastructure for high-throughput automation [3].
